The wait is finally over

Finally!!!!! The motherboard that every gamer was craving for.
This has everything that will suffice your gaming needs and stands out from the rest, probably the best in its class.
Go for it if you want the bundled Watch Dogs game or wait until the standalone version comes out(which should be 2-3 K lesser than this one).
The price might be on the higher side considering the fact that its a new launch, but a little wait might make this mobo. more affordable(Flipkart plz don't disappoint me on...
